Funeral Of Sheriff Carman ething
About the Man.-The funeral of Sheriff Robert
r. Carmap, of Hartford county, whose sudden
death from CONGESTION of the kidneys was noticed
in these columns last week, took place on Sunday
last and was one of the largest ever seen in Bel
air. The interment was at Fork M. E. Church, in
the 18th district of this county, whore an immense
concourse of people had assembled to pay the last
sad tribute to a warm hearted and generous man.
Rev. Jos. p. Wilson, of Belair, preached an ap-
propriate sermon, and the services at the grave
were conducted in accordance with Masonic rites,
by Mt. Ararat Lodge of Beair, of which deceased
was member. The pall-bcarers were John J.
Alexander, VIM. D. Harryman, John A. Young,
George Y. Maynadier, John G.. Rouse and Thomas
Hanway. Mr.. Carman leaves a wife and six
children, the youngest being boy about five years
old.
The Belair 1Egis speaks feelingly of Mr.. Car
mans good qualities. 1t says: GAS an officer
there is no dissenting opinion with reference to
Sheriff Carman. His execution of the duties OF
his responsible position was firm, business like
and impartial. Prompt, energetic and gentleman
ly under all circumstances, his record as Sheriff
will ever be pointed to with pride and satisfac-
zion by his friends. As man Sheriff oarmnn.s
distinguishing characteristic was strong manli-
ness In every relation with his fellow men his
directness of purpose always asserted ITSELF His
words and actions, and far as these indicated,
his very thoughts were direct, Straightforward and
to the purpose of the matter in hand. Deception
in the remotest degree was utterly foreign to his
nature. Therefore it was that every friend he had
was attached to him by the strongest ties. Self
possession and self-control were also attributes
largely possessed by Sheriff Carman, and he was
of a kind, humane disposition and charitable to
the poor. One who knew him long and intimate
ly remarked that in all his intercourse with him,
even during times of political excitement, he
heard him utter bitter or unkind word towards
an opponent"
